Volume 2 Pavilion General Star Chapter 317 One more step

Emperor Yongning never thought that his plan for the crown prince would make his subordinates think that there was something wrong with his body.

You must know that the health of the dragon body is related to the prosperity of the country, which is a major event of the country and is very important.

The slightest carelessness will cause turmoil in the hearts of the people and instability in the imperial court.

Even if Emperor Yongning usually behaved gently, he couldn't help but be furious at this moment.

He grabbed a few books, threw them in front of Shen Jingzong, and said loudly: "Shen Jingzong, you are so bold! Aren't you afraid that I will ask for sin?!"

The emperor's anger made people feel chills in their hearts, but Shen Jingzong stiffened his neck and still said, "Your Majesty, the minister is indeed afraid, but the minister hopes that the emperor will be healthy and live forever."

Emperor Yongning stared at him deeply, his chest rising and falling violently with rage.

After a while, he calmed down and said to Shen Jingzong coldly, "Calm down, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Shen Jingzong immediately responded, his voice trembling a little.

Emperor Yongning waved his hand and said to him, "Stand down! This is only one time, don't take it as an example, do your part, I'm very good!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! The emperor is in good health, and the ministers are relieved!" Shen Jingzong looked up, his face obviously relaxed.

After Shen Jingzong withdrew from the Zichen Palace, Emperor Yongning's gaze kept falling on Song Shu and was silent for a long time.

"Xue Gong." He asked, "Are there many courtiers who went to the Imperial Doctor's Office these days?"

Xue Gong stepped forward, half-bowed his waist and replied, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are looking at ...... It's a little bit more than ever."

"Really?" The emperor's eyelids twitched slightly, "Who are they?"

"There is Lord Yushi Taizhang, Lord Shangshu Qi of the Criminal Department, and several chief officials of the three provinces." Xue Gong's voice lowered.

He didn't want to answer, let alone not answer.

As the chief of the chamberlain, it is impossible for him to know anything about the palace in the palace, but it is impossible for him not to know where the courtiers went after leaving the Zichen Palace.

"Why don't you tell me?"

Xue Gong's body bent lower, and he replied honestly, "Go back to the emperor, the slave and maid don't dare."

Xue Gong had been by the emperor's side for so long, of course, he knew very well what to say when to say.

At this time, it's okay to be honest.

Emperor Yongning glanced at him and said lightly, "I don't dare! I think you're too daring."

His expression didn't fluctuate, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or not.

Xue Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the matter of the courtier's movements had been revealed by him.

But......

Sure enough, the next moment, he heard the emperor instruct like this: "Zhu Yi, you go and investigate, what officials has the crown prince seen recently."

"Yes." Zhu Yi responded, and the silver-white unicorn suit flashed in the hall.

After the sky darkened, Jiang Guifei was already preparing for the bedtime.

Before the emperor came to Fuqing Palace, Qian Gu attached something to Jiang Guifei's ear, and then Jiang Guifei nodded and said, "Well, this palace knows."

After a hearty drench, Jiang Guifei pillowed on Emperor Yongning's chest, and sighed: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to give you something, you are not allowed to say that the concubine is stingy."

"How could I say that about my concubine?" Emperor Yongning lazily responded, reaching out and touching Jiang Guifei's face.

Jiang Guifei's voice was obviously a little happier, and she said, "That's the case. The second brother sent someone to ask the concubines to go to Kunning Palace to walk around...... The concubines have been in the palace for many years, and rarely go to Kunning Palace, and the concubines ...... I don't want to go."

"If you don't want to go, you won't go, the queen will be quiet, she won't care."

"However, the concubine heard about it...... The second brother actually sent all the silver compensated from the Cheng family to the Xue family. This...... You say, has he been a Mr. Sancai in Gangnam Province for a long time, it's really ......?"

She muttered dissatisfiedly, "Those silver taels, isn't it good to leave them for Xiao Jiu? Xiao Jiu has to raise 4,000 soldiers with a fixed rate, which is really a lot of money! Why send it to the prince? The prince is the prince, and he is not short of money!"

Emperor Yongning narrowed his eyes and asked, "You

The second brother sent silver to the Xue family?"

"Yes, and quite a few. The concubine heard that he also wanted to send it over in the name of Huitongtang...... What is this picture? Your Majesty, it's not that many concubines are stingy, but the concubines really don't understand!" ap.

"You're in the palace, you don't need to understand. You just said that your second brother asked you to go to Kunning Palace more often?"

Jiang Guifei spread a green silk on Emperor Yongning's side, nodded and said, "The words were handed in by the second brother, but it was said that this is the meaning of the concubine's father."

"The second brother said that the relationship between the concubine and the queen mother should be better. Concubines and empresses...... There's no discord, Your Majesty, don't you say?"

Emperor Yongning was silent for a moment before he said perfunctorily, "Yes, what Concubine Ai said is true."

Does the Jiang family really not know that the prince is secretly dealing with Changding? So why show favor to the crown prince?

The Jiang family is the richest man in the Dade Dynasty, and the silver taels sent to the Xue family are throwing stones to ask for directions? Or is there something else that makes sense?

Emperor Yongning thought about these things, and he didn't sleep well in Fuqing Palace that night, so he got up early and left.

As soon as he returned to the Zichen Palace, Zhu Yi appeared and said, "Your Majesty, the prince has only seen people from the Xue family in the past few days. But...... Cheng Yong's eldest grandson went to visit the Xue family."

Emperor Yongning's footsteps paused, Cheng Yong's eldest grandson?

"Cheng Yong's eldest grandson, Cheng Keyi, is the county commander in Jingyun County, and he returned to Jingzhao a few days ago, and he is in the mansion of His Royal Highness Changding."

Cheng Keyi's wife and children are in Princess Changding's mansion, so as soon as he returned to Jingzhao, he went to Princess Changding's mansion, and Zhu Yi found out all of this.

"The people who live in Changding Mansion went to Xue's house?" Emperor Yongning frowned.

Zhu Yi nodded and replied, "Yes, there are also soldiers with a long set of pace."

In other words, Cheng Keyi's behavior of going to see the Xue family, Princess Changding knows.

As for whether it was made by Princess Changding, this still needs to be explored.

"I don't understand, why did he go to Xue's house?"

Cheng Keyi stayed away from Jingzhao for the daughter of a dart master, and not long ago it seemed that he broke with the Cheng family because of his wife and children.

It is said that Cheng Keyi's wife and children got Changding's eyes, and Cheng Keyi threw himself into Changding, which is understandable.

But what did Cheng Keyi go to Xue's house for?

"Back to the emperor, the Xue family did not meet Cheng Keyi, but Cheng Keyi kowtowed three times outside the Xue Mansion and thanked him loudly, saying that the Xue family's great grace was unforgettable."

Zhu Yi remembered the advice of his subordinates, and added: "Feng Chenwei said that his words came from the bottom of his heart."

From the bottom of my heart, that is to say, what did the Xue family really do, let Cheng Keyi sincerely thank you.

Xue family, what did you do?

The emperor lowered his eyes and commanded lightly, "Go and find out what the Xue family has done in the affairs of the Cheng family. Also, the Jiang family...... Go check if their money was really sent to the Xue family."

"Yes!"

At this time, Emperor Yongning didn't know that a news that almost all the courtiers were afraid of had quietly spread in Jingzhao.
